Samsung 27" ViewFinity S61B Response Time for Gaming?

Any thoughts on the response time of the Samsung 27" ViewFinity S61B for gaming? I'm looking at getting one but want to know if it's adequate.

Hey @doctimusprime, you should definitely check out this TechReviewer article about response times for gaming monitors Is the Samsung 27" ViewFinity S61B Good for Gaming?. It provides a comprehensive analysis and might help you make an informed decision.

@Lichimaru Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look. Is 5 ms generally good enough or would it be better to aim for something lower?

In my experience, 5 ms is definitely good for casual gaming but if you're into competitive gaming or want an ultra-smooth experience, you might want to go for a monitor with a 1 ms response time.

I've been using the ViewFinity S61B for a few months now and I'm really happy with its performance. The 5 ms response time isn't perfect but it's not bad either. It doesn't bother me during casual gaming sessions.

Yeah, I think it comes down to personal preference. Some people might find the 5 ms response time of the S61B perfect for their needs while others might want something faster. For most casual gamers, I don't think it's a deal-breaker.

@Jappleseed1985 That's true. After reading the TechReviewer article Is the Samsung 27" ViewFinity S61B Good for Gaming?, I've decided to go ahead and get the ViewFinity S61B. It seems like a great monitor overall and the response time should be fine for my casual gaming needs.

Great choice! The S61B is an excellent monitor with vibrant colors, good viewing angles, and a nice design. You won't regret your decision.

Thanks everyone for the input! I'll definitely let you know how it performs once I get it set up.
